Anthropogenic climate change demands innovative educational approaches that effectively bridge sustainability concepts with practical learning. Particularly this applies to the broad context of sustainable energy education. The CIRCLE project (Creative Impulses for Recycling, Crafting and Learning) conducted …

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Curaçao (UoC) faced significant challenges in student enrollment and retention. Furthermore, the Caribbean SIDS faces a shortage of engineers specialized in sustainability, which will hinder the development of sustainability within the SIDS. The Bachelor …

The accelerating transition toward renewable energy is reshaping labour markets and placing unprecedented demands on education systems. While existing didactical approaches in energy education, such as project-based or simulation-based learning, strengthen technical skills, they often fall short in preparing …

The energy transition requires engineers who can reason about complex renewable energy systems, diagnose faults, and work collaboratively in dynamic environments. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is widely recognized for supporting such competencies, yet many engineering courses lack authentic contexts that …

This paper explores how universities orchestrate academic-industry co-creation within mission-oriented regional innovation ecosystems. The empirical case analyses the Greater Manchester Electrochemical Hydrogen Cluster (GMEHC) through a structured collaboration between Centre for Enterprise, Manchester …

Executive Summary This Deliverable (D2.9) presents the final principles of ethical and inclusive engagement, developed from research conducted by AUAS during two rounds of the CommuniCity pilots, described in D2.8 and the impact study undertaken in 6.3. These principles aim to guide stakeholders in adapting …

This paper presents a preliminary evaluation of three living labs within the Healthy and Sustainable Living Environment Utrecht Knowledge Consortium (GeLUK): KTC Zegveld, Hoefkwartier, and Utrecht Science Park (USP). These living labs play a central role in advancing energy transition and energy education …

Our current smart society, where problems and frictions are smoothed out with smart, often invisi ble technology like AI and smart sensors, calls for designers who unravel and open the smart fabric. Societies are not malleable, and moreover, a smooth society without rough edges is neither desirable …

Loneliness among young adults is a growing concern worldwide, posing serious health risks. While the human ecological framework explains how various factors such as socio-demographic, social, and built environment characteristics can affect this feeling, still, relatively little is known about the effect …
